Director: Mahbubul Hoq

The peaceful applications of nuclear energy can only be ensured with the proper application of electronics. BAEC is dedicated for the successful implementation of the "Atomic Energy for Peace" programme in the country. On the basis of this objective, the Institute of Electronics with the required basic facilities was established in 1981 at AERE complex. A strong determination and motivation by a group of dedicated scientists/engineers with good backup from the concerned Authority is keeping everything on the track. The basic purpose of this undertaking is to develop an infrastructure for electronics, both nuclear and non-nuclear on a national scale and at the same time to create a good impact in human resource development.

VLSI Laboratory

Project Director: Abu Sayeed Mohammad Firoz

A project "To set up a centre of excellence for the development of Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) Technology in Bangladesh" under Annual Development Program (ADP) of the Government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh has started on 2006-07. This is the facility first time to be built in Bangladesh to open the new horizon in microelectronics and to develop manpower in this field.

Seminar and Library

Seminar Convener and Library in Charge: Mohammod Abu Sayid Haque

Though there is a central library at AERE campus a library with moderate number of books, journals, periodicals, etc. is to provide in-house support to the scientists, engineers and researchers. At present there is only paper based collection but there is a plan to setup a digital section which will have collection of electronic copies of books, Journals, documents, etc. Seminar and lecture program are regularly held in the institute to disseminate the gained knowledge by the scientists/engineers and to be acquainted with the recent activities around the world related to the institutes activities.

Scientific Store

Adviser: Mohammod Abu Sayid Haque

Scientific store provide support to the technical activities through supplying components, tools, instruments, etc. used in the research, development and production works run by the scientists, engineers and researchers of the institute. Designed, developed and manufactured instruments, system, etc. are stored here to sell to the user within and outside BAEC. At present there exists paper based management of the activities but there is a plan to modernize and computerize the store management system.
